Time-Honored New Year Reception Will Be Omitted Fron} White House Calender Break in Tradifional Custom Due to Circum- stances—Président and Mrs. Coolidge to Be " Here Christmas Day. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. OR the first time since the Wilson administration official social gmu at the White House are disrupted and like the war-time resident, who was the first in many years to permit a New Year day to pass without a reception, PreSident Coolidge will ;find the day in a country club in Georgia. Both the President and . Coolidge have followed out the traditional social schedule at the White House with painstaking care, and to miss the time- honored New Year day reception, which was this year placed on their schedule with other official entertainments for the season, is not without other precedent than that set by President Wilson. CAEDB have been issued for the congressional reception at the _White House, Thursday evening, January 10, at 9 o’clock, and the following week the President and Mrs. Coolidge will give a dinner in honor of the Speaker and Mrs. Longworth. THE President and his executive family will hang their stockings in widely separated places Christmas eve, official life. will be generally disrupted and as usual the junior element of society will hold sway. West Point and Annapolis and all the larger schools of the country are sending many students here for the Christmas holi- day and some of the most brilliant parties of the week ‘will belong almost exclusively to them. WHILE the President’s plans for the week are a bit tentative, those . of his cabinet are not, and-the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes have closed their house on Belmont road and left for Evanston, Ill., where elaborate plans have been made for sheir Christmas celebra- tion. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogfi had to abandon their trip to St. Paul, because of the exacting work of the Conference of American States on-“Conciliation and Arbitration, and will instead help to carry on with the constant stream of entertainment for the distinguished group of delegates. They will hold their annual New Year day breakfast in the Pan-American Building for the diplorhatic corps. THE- Se_cretary of the Treasury, Mr. Andrew W. Mellon, will remain “in Pittsburgh to assist his family in celebrating the Christmas geason, his son, Paul Mellon, and a group of his Yale classmates meeting in the Secretary’s home, where there will be a large house party. The Secretary of War, Mr. Dwight F. Davis, seems as un- certain on some points as does the President when it comes to Christmas plans, but Mrs. Davis, who is a temporary invalid, and her daughters will pass the season in Washington. A'!'I'ORNEY GENERAL SARGENT is already with Mrs. Sargent and their family at Ludlow, Vt., and will not return until the new year opens. Postmaster General and Mrs. Harry S. New have hung out a Christmas lantern and put wreaths in the windows of their charming suburban house on Edgemoor lane, Bethesda, Md. and the bird houses which were repainted in_gay colors some time ago will_each yield a bounteous Christmas dinner to the hundreds of birds that infest the lawn and its forest trees. Grain and generous slabs of suet are supplied by the Postmaster himself, who never fails to carry out the big pail of grain each evening on his return from the Capital, giving the birds a“good big bedtime feed. THE Secretary of the'Navy and Mrs. Curtis Dwight Wilbur expect to spend the holiday with the former’s brother-in-law.and sister, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Paist, at Wayne, Pa., and Mr. Roy O. West, Secre- tary of Interior, will enjoy Christmas with his family in Chicago, Mr. William Fairfield Whiting, Secretary of Commerce, a]ready”ls vgxtsblxx‘lssfamlly at Holyoke, Mass., and may not return until Congress c es, TWO cabinet homes which furnish constant entertainment to Washington in general and the country at large are that of the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jardine, where their debutante daughter, Miss Marian Jardine, who has her coming out party at the Mayflower Hotel at a tea dance Christmas eve, and that of the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Davis, where the five children furnish enough joy for the whole cabinet. MIBS JARDINE will be surrounded by other debutantes of the sea- son and her tea dance will be attended by all of the cadets and midshipmen and the other student element here for the holidays. Christmas colors in profusion will furnish the decoration, poinsettias and red candles, holly berries and mistletoe giving the scheme. Miss Jardine is an accomplished but quite democratic glirl, pretty and with a kindly way which wins for her many friends. UT after all it 1s"the five little Davises, the Jays, as they are generally called, James, Jane, Jean, June and Jewel, that furnish $he most life in the cabinet. They always go five abreast to call on $the President and Mrs. Coolidge on all holidays, generally wearing :.. ACoutinued on Third Paged $s { SOCIETY SECTION he Sunday St WASHINGTON, D. (., SUNDAY.
